Manasseh Azure Awuni has been brutally trolled by Ghanaians online after he wrote a ‘project work’ style response to a Ghanaian who brilliantly trolled him for attacking an African conference of CEO’s held in Europe.
Manasseh wondered aloud why the conference was not held in Africa to keep the revenue generated from it here, which prompted Nana Kwame’s now viral response.
Whilst many are making fun of Manasseh for the way he’s handled the exchange, one person standing behind him is the poet, Nenebi.
Nenebi authored a lengthy post on Facebook in which he defended the reporter’s stance on the issue, calling Nana Kwame’s response a ‘senseless’ one.
He wrote:
I hate talking about issues just because they are trending but I have to talk about Mannasseh Azure’s issue because he is trending.
I can argue both for and against Africa CEOs having their summit in Geneva. I think one reason they might have chose Geneva is because of international media attention. The international media (no matter how much I hate them, we need them) don’t like to report about positive things happening in Africa. Actually the media don’t like to report on positive things happening anywhere. Only difference is, if a high school kid shoots a school in the US, the headline is, “High School Shooting in Virginia, 17 killed”.
High school kids in Africa don’t kill people because they were teased. Should soldiers shoot 7 people in Mogadishu, the headline will be, “Violent Shooting in Africa, 7 killed, Several Other Feared Dead.”
Having the summit in Geneva will make the international media feel more comfortable talking about it. May be they are trying to pull a Drake. Drake hardly talked about Canada in his first 3 albums.
He shouted out Houston (where he met Lil Wayne) and named songs after American cities till he got their attention. Now Drake talks about Canada like the whole world lives in Canada.
His new album, he talked about Niagara Falls and Lake Ontario the way you talk about something people already know. Nobody knows Lake Ontario.
He is making Canada cool because he sold his soul to the US to get their ear.
Now he is selling Canada to them (more on Drake later). Sometimes you have to kiss the frog to get the prince. I want to believe that’s what they are doing.
Unfortunately, the whole summit will be covered in a 60-seconds report so is it worth it? I don’t know. The against is, the summit is about making money in Africa. How about start with keeping money in Africa like Azure (whose opinion 98% of the time I don’t care about. I don’t care about the opinion of journalists who started life as pournalists and are only talkers and writers because Kanye said, “If you are doing and not just talking, you will know how hard it is to actually do”) said.
Nana Kwame’s response to Azure is very senseless and out of place. First of all, people have their wedding where they stay, not where they come from. So the Africa CEOs, using the wedding logic, should have kept the summit where their businesses stay.
Azure stays in Accra, Aburi is closer to Accra than his hometown. Number 2, husbands usually don’t decided the wedding location and stuff like that. The bride does (and in Ghana, the family, and church, since Azure is a Christian, decides on that).
The whole wedding in hometown thing, who does that? Of course, unless you are from Ada. Even me, I won’t fore my wife to get married in Ada but getting married in Ada is not her dream, she won’t be my bride in the first place. Aburi is where you settle on when you can’t have Ada. #CokeInTheFlagstaff“

FINALLY ONE SENSIBLE PERSON IN GHANA BESIDES THE FEW. AND FUNNY ENOUGH, HE IS FROM ADA....NOW I KNOW HOW SMART ADA'S ARE...TRULY, I DIDN'T SEE WHY THE WHOLE GHANA THOUGHT THAT NANA KWAME OF A GUY DISSED MANASSEH AND WERE HAILING HIM. THAT BOY IS BITTER AND ATTACKED SOMEONE'S PERSONALITY INSTEAD OF A TOPIC, AND THE FAKE GHANAIANS WENT CELEBRATING OVER NOTHING. WE WONDER WHY OUR COUNTRY IS IN CRISIS. WHEN THE LEADERS ARE SEN...SE....LESS AND THE PEOPLE ARE TOO...SAD.
Really, I find it difficult to understand why people prefer to discuss personalities to issues. This guy raised important disquiet, instead of helping to find answer to the subject, many of us have resorted to attacks on his person. Can we call this ignorance?
when TIME is on your handle you write long essay to explain fact & fiction. This is the deal, orange & apples Otabil was stressing fufu eaters are eating the food prepared unhealthy way & to some they saw it as promoting mechanical business for others. Same way use the analogy here & you be the judge. We cannot see somethings to be bad in Africa & best in Abroad. it makes us batch of hypocrites. Over to you folks. Always seek wisdom because the pen is mightier than the sword.
it is not about what Nana Kwame Said ooh, its about putting someone who thinks he knows too much in his place, this long essays wont help this book long people eeh, if you want to write long easys like these please go to the Research centers and do research and spare us this big big English. Mannaseh you just met your meeter thats all...................lol
Hahahahaha, I can't just stop laughing. Was that your defense? Get things right; who attended the conference? Who are the sponsors? What are the profits aimed by the sponsors? What did the organizers consider before settling on the venue? After answering all these questions and others, you will come to realize that just as Manasseh had his wedding at Aburi because of the facts you mentioned, the conference might have been held in Geneva because of obvious reasons.
Ghanaians know the beauty of democracy and the fact that u support manasseh doesnt mean we should all support him too and that is the beauty of democracy and to talk of someone who is senseless then it is u cos what manasseh said doesnt sound sense and he only did that cos he thinks by commenting on all isues will rather improve his career but he ended up as he was suppose to so master commot
People really got Time waaa. You sat and cracked your brain to write this . I'll rather smoke a blunt and be cool in my couch over Kumawood . akrobeto , lil win , kwaku manu LOL. Charley ***barred word*** this book long people , they all BORING.
Politics turned a lot of people into id*iots . As much as i do not agree with Manasseh on a lot of issues , i think the guy comparing Manasseh's wedding to African leader holding an African summit on a foreign soil is indeed senseless. I am surprised a lot of people are in support of the senseless comment by Nana Kwame. The fact that majority supports Nana Kwame shows the kind of society we live in . I personally do not see any thing wrong with what Manasseh wrote .
I don't just understand these COTTONWOOL-MIND people living among us in Ghana kraaa ooo. How can you compare Aburi in Ghana,Africa to Geneva in Switzerland,Europe ???? Isn't it a Conference concerning and involving other African countries we are talking about or a Wedding Ceremony involving African Heads of States? In fact such Sense-less people must give us a break.Send your responses to the primary class rooms.
Did i hear this guy saying Nana Kwame's comment was senseless? Then what u just wrote is the most senseless of all so go back and see manasseh so that u guys can think thoroughly before talking without thinking again or u are just looking for attention like manaseh so u decided to comment small, hahahahaha master go and buy a pillow and sleep on cos what u wrote makes no sense and no matter the paragraphs u and manasseh writes still Nana Kwame brough u to where he belongs so he should learn to be humble
